After September, October is another month packed with travel for French artists who attend film festivals throughout the world. The teams of Misérables and Portrait of a Lady on Fire continued to be kept busy, as was Nicolas Bedos (for La Belle Epoque), and Costa Gavras who accompanied his Adults in the Room everywhere. We also note the world premiere of #Iamhere at the Busan International Film Festival, in the presence of director Éric Lartigau, accompanied by Doona Bae (photo).
